No matter what, we'll provide the dedicated representation and relentless defense you need during this time.

Client Reviews:

Hands down best money I've ever spent

Jul 15, 2014 - Nadiya, a Criminal Defense client

Client's Rating:

I hired Marcel to help me with 12 felony counts which would not only get me jail sentence but will guarantee my deportation for something that I wasn't fully a part of. Marcel worked hard to make sure that doesn't happen. Not only did he get the 12 counts dropped but reached out to an immigration lawyer to find a charge that will allow me to stay here. The prosecutor he was up against was not the most easy-going and the fact that he managed to get all of this done is a miracle!!'

Wonderful Attorney

Jul 20, 2014 - Naomi, a Criminal Defense client

Client's Rating:

I was very pleased with Mr. Benavides' work as the Attorney for my son. My son had serious charges, including several felonies and he was looking at doing 57/77 months in prison. He got my son's charges down to one year in a thumb corrections facility with Y.T.A. I'M VERY PLEASED WITH HIS WORK. GREAT JOB!
